Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup coconut
  • ¾ cup raisins
  • *1/2c chopped walnuts would be a nice addition if you like nuts but they are very expensive here, so I didn't use any

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease cookie sheet.
  • Cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  • Combine the flour, salt and baking soda, oats, then stir in the chocolate chips, coconut and raisins (and nuts if desired).
  • Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls (I use a medium cookie scoop) onto the prepared cookie sheets. Allow space, as these cookies do spread out.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes. Cookies will be golden and crisp on edges, slightly gooey in the center. Do not over bake.
  • Allow to cool five minutes then transfer to cooling rack.
